There is no report on the (anti) aromaticity of metallacyclopentatrienes, one kind of common
and important five-membered metallacycles. This work presents the novel synthesis of …

Several antiaromatic metallacycles have been reported in the past 5 years, opening an
emerging area of (anti) aromaticity and organometallic chemistry. In this work, we briefly …

Carbolong complexes are one of the primary types of metallaaromatics, and they include
metallapentalynes and metallapentalenes. A series of 7C-10C and 12C-carbolong …

The first chlororuthenacyclopentatrienes have been realized by the reactions of RuCl2
(PPh3) 3 with o-phenyldiyne derivatives in the presence of excess HCl. The structures of the …

Isomerization reactions of unsaturated molecules offer an efficient strategy in atom-
economical synthesis. Although isomerization reactions of unsaturated organic and …

Reshaping an aromatic framework to generate other skeletons is a challenging issue due to
the stabilization energy of aromaticity. Such reconfigurations of aromatics commonly …

The oxidation state of the metal center is important for a conjugated metallacycle. Although
high valent d0-metallacycles of main groups and early transition metals have been reported …

Abstract The reactions of ReCl 3 (PMePh 2) 3 with o-halophenylacetylenes (halo= Cl, Br, I)
were investigated, producing two kinds of rhenacyclopropene complexes. Complex 1 with a …

Cyclo [16] carbon is the first antiaromatic all-carbon ring discovered in recent experiments.
We studied its thermal stability and found that cyclo [16] carbon showed poor thermal …

Reactions of o‐alkyl naphthol compounds with ReCl3 (PMePh2) 3 produced naphtho‐
rhenafuran complexes, which adapted different ground states (singlet S0 and triplet T0) …
